The hypothalamus receives information from the nervous syste

The hypothalamus receives information from the nervous system and initiates responses through the endocrine system. Indicate whether the statements below correctly describe neuro-endocrine interactions. Neurosecretory cells are considered endocrine cells because they release a molecule that travels through the bloodstream to reach target cells. The hypothalamus communicates with the posterior pituitary by releasing hormones that travel through a portal vessel. All hormones produced by the hypothalamus are considered tropic hormones. Nerve impulses from sensory neurons in the nipple signal to the hypothalamus. The end response is oxytocin release from the anterior pituitary. The hypothalamus is one of the targets of thyroid-stimulating hormone, representing a negative feedback loop. Hormonal release from the anterior pituitary is regulated by releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus.
